Simply put your initial analysis fails to comprehend that this is an emotionally driven market; hence your value and pricing model falls completely apart. For example, you analysis does not recognize that a provider's price structure must include her self-worth. There's a reason why alcohol (and unmentionables) is more prevalent among the lower priced provider community (like streetwalkers). It also fails to comprehend how physical security (bad customers) influences how a provider sets her rates. The lower the rate and the risk that a bad (read that dangerous) customer opening the door increases. So I can understand why a provider would rather starve than lower her rates and risk getting robbed and beaten.
These are all market forces that each provider who has posted to this thread understands, but your model does not. Originally Posted by DFK Hunter

From a security standpoint screening, location, and pure chance, are the main determining factors on bad guys walking through the door. I would guess there is a correlation between less expensive providers, less secure locations, and lack of screening, that would make it seem as though their price point was putting them at greater risk, but even with that helping to fuel your assumption it doesn't seem to be true. I'll admit it's a small sample to postulate from, but a cruise through the alerts section for providers who have been robbed or assaulted, seems to back me up. They were not the low cost providers. This very unscientific data would suggest that pricing yourself in the middle of the market attracts dangerous assholes, but as I pointed out, there is very little incentive for one of these assholes to go bargain hunting.
Certainly I am not implying that there is no danger to being a provider, and of course the danger should be figured into every girl's rates, but I sense that there's more to the indignation than what data goes into the formula.
I'd guess the ladies who do care, and are reading these threads have reached a saturation point for "advice" from their clients.
Buba, if you truly want to take up this cause, you might find your success rate less than zero until everyone backs off for a bit, and gives the ladies a moment or two that doesn't have advice of any kind in it. Then let those who want to know come to you. You obviously know your business, but continuing along current lines would show a considerable lack of knowledge about women.
(much like my own)

Well, I know I have had lots of fun with this thread! I know many ladies already use good, sound business praticies. Most already understand and could easly expand upon the concepts I posted. Based on the number of PMs I got, far more appriciate my intent and interest than the few who felt I was just another guy telling them to lower prices. Which, of course, I never said.
